IMPROVEMENT IN BASE-BURNING STOVES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALBERT 0. Come, of Troy,

in the county of Rensselaer and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Base-burning Stoves; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a magazine for containing fuel as improved, and

Figure 2 is a vertical central section and a lower end view of the same.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures.

My invention relates to a class of heating stoves provided with magazines for containing a supply of fuel and it consists in combining with a magazine a forked section attached to the lower end thereof in themanner and by the means substantially as and for the purpose hereinafterset forth.

In use, the lower end of a magazine immediately over the fire-pot is exposed to so intense a degree of heat as to render it necessaryto protect said part, to accomplish which object many devices have beenused, such as fire-brick, an annular cast-iron pipe, 850., all of which, however, have been open to serious objections, chief among which were their large expense and the difiiculty experienced in their renewal;

In my invention these diificulties are removed by the production of an attachment that, whileafi'ording complete protection to the magazine, is durable and cheap, and permits the employment of much lighter iron in the construction of said magazine than has heretofore been practicable.

In the annexed drawing-- A represents a magazine constructed of thin cast or rolled metal and having any desired form.

Secured to or forming a part of the lower end of said magazine is an annular ring of cast metal, B, having its lower edge flush with the corresponding edge of said magazine, and from thence tapering inward and upward at its outer side, as shown, the object of said ring being to give increased breadth to the lower end of said magazine.

Immediately below the ring B is a section composed of a second ring, 0, somewhat less in size than the former and provided, at equidistant points around itslower edge, with a series of bars, D, which project vertically downward, the whole being formed of or from cast metal.

Two or more lugs, 0, having their lower edges flush with the lower end. of the magazine, and their upper edges inclined upward in a wedgc form, are attached at equidistant points around the periphery of the ring G, and engage with corresponding lugs 11 that project downwardaud inward from the ring'B, and securely lock said section upon the magazine, while at the.

metal in its construction, and consequentlymaterially lessen its cost.

Second, being constructed of or from cast metal, and requiring no finishing or fitting after leaving the sand, the forked section can be renewed, when necessary, at a comparatively small expense and with little trouble. e

Third, by the use of the forked section the gases gen-- eratcd within the magazine are more readily permitted to escape, and, in addition thereto, the light and heat from the incandescent coal at or within the lower end of said magazine are permitted to pass freely outward, and thereby materiallyincrease the efiective size I of the fire without increase of the amount of fuel con sumed.

Having thus fully set Iforth the nature and merits of my invention,

What-I claim as newis- In combination with the magazine A, the forked sections 0 and D attached to its lower end in the manner and by the means substantially as and for the purpose specified. v

In testimony that I claim we roregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of February, 1871.
